A designated place is a type of geographic unit used by Statistics Canada to disseminate census data.[1] It is usually "a small community that does not meet the criteria used to define incorporated municipalities or Statistics Canada population centres (areas with a population of at least 1,000 and no fewer than 400 persons per square kilometre)."[2] Provincial and territorial authorities collaborate with Statistics Canada in the creation of designated places so that data can be published for sub-areas within municipalities.[2] Starting in 2016, Statistics Canada allowed the overlapping of designated places with population centres.[2]
In the 2021 Census of Population, New Brunswick had 161 designated places,[3] an increase from 157 in 2016.[4] Designated place types in New Brunswick include 8 former local governments, 152 local service districts[a] and a single retired population centre.[9] In 2021, the 161 designated places had a cumulative population of 93,925 and an average population of 583. New Brunswick's largest designated place is Tracadie with a population of 5,349.[10]

Notes
- ^ Local service districts (LSDs) delineated by Statistics Canada usually correspond to provincially-delineated LSDs but may have boundary and/or name differences or correspond to areas with altered services that are only part of a provincial-delineated LSD. Examples include the Alcida census LSD,[5] based on the Alcida and Dauversière service area of the parish of Beresford LSD,[6] and the Chiasson-Savoy census LSD, which includes a large area[7] to the north of the provincial LSD[8] of the same name.
